This was what we were doing 10 years ago.

 

And this afternoon Attorney General Barr suggested Americans should accept Government backdoors into encryption because you know, national security and all.  besides, all you're doing is consumer stuff, it's not like you're protecting nuclear codes or something

Of course.  I leave the back door to my house unlocked all the time, so the police can come and go as they please.  It's not like I'm protecting nuclear bombs or anything.  And criminals always use the front door.

Expects to be fired for asserting company 'takes sides in elections'
 

</snip>
 

Greg Coppola announced the move on a GoFundMe page he set up in which he states he “will probably be fired for an interview expressing concern that big tech is taking sides in elections.”
 

“If raised, I will use this money to spend four months publishing content about issues in politics and technology,” he writes.

I have an idea for Greg if he gets fired from Google, GET A JOB instead of high tech pan handling in order to go on a 4 month navel gazing exersize.

 

Often losing a job can open up opportunities for a better job.

I guess you can't just tell him to learn to code.

I'm not sure if your experience would be different, but my was kind of eye opening.............

 

I went to punch in "Cocaine Mitch" for a picture for another thread.

 

 

I kept waiting for it to "pop up" as I typed it out, but no, I had to spell the whole phrase out before I got a response.

 

I decided to try "Moscow Mitch"  and that phrase was suggested by the time I got to M,o,s.

 

Not Moscow first, mind you, but Moscow Mitch.

 

 

Thanks Google.

The comments are hilarious. Yeah, he was suspended for "asking hard questions", not because he acted like an unprofessional buffoon and tried to provoke a physical confrontation with a guest.

 

Secondary LOL to the idiots who demand that the White House Press Corps stop covering the White House for a month in "protest".

COLLUSION: Former Google Engineer Says Google Will Try to Prevent Trump’s Reelection. 

 

“After the 2016 election, Google’s then-head of multicultural marketing bragged about attempting to boost Latino turnout, hoping it would help Hillary Clinton. Robert Epstein, a Ph.D. psychologist who studies search engine manipulation effects, found that Google’s bias can explain Clinton’s popular vote margin of victory.

 

A Project Veritas video showed that Google’s ‘fairness’ project is intended to prevent another 2016. Last month, a Google engineer said the company’s search results are intentionally biased against Trump.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

POLITICAL TENSION AT GOOGLE IS ONLY GETTING WORSE: 

 

Another former engineer has alleged that the company fired him over his political beliefs. 

 

Which is illegal under California law.

If he's a Republican, then he's a white supremacist, and they fired him for supporting terrorism, which is not illegal under CA law.

White House drafting executive order to tackle Silicon Valley’s alleged anti-conservative bias
 

The White House is circulating drafts of a proposed executive order that would address allegations of anti-conservative bias by social media companies, according to a White House official and two other people familiar with the matter — a month after President Donald Trump pledged to explore "all regulatory and legislative solutions" on the issue.
 

None of the three would describe the contents of the order, which one person cautioned has already taken many different forms and remains in flux. But its existence, and the deliberations surrounding it, are evidence that the administration is taking a serious look at wielding the federal government’s power against Silicon Valley.

Another retrospective of regulations' unintended consequences.

 

 

Quote

 

Section 230 Was Supposed to Make the Internet a Better Place. It Failed

A tiny federal statute in 1996 transformed the web into a wildly lucrative business, and became Big Tech’s favorite liability shield. It’s now under attack from all sides.

 

....

Perhaps it was time, Cruz rejoined, for Congress to revisit Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act—a slim and powerful law, cherished in Silicon Valley, that shields internet companies from liability for most of the material their users post.

 

Back in 1995, when the CDA was conceived, Section 230 enjoyed bipartisan support from members of Congress, who believed that tech companies would do a better job at moderating the internet than federal regulators. But a growing number of hostile lawmakers are now criticizing Big Tech’s safe harbor. Cruz, a Texas Republican, and other conservatives have accused major internet platforms of suppressing their viewpoints, arguing that the spirit of Section 230 is predicated on the companies remaining politically neutral. Democrats call that nonsense; still, liberals have found reasons to dislike the law, namely their belief that tech businesses have too often used it to ignore the collateral damage of their users’ bad behavior.
